Wight Classics Ltd

We were on holiday and had a problem with a wheel bearing seal on my VW. We phoned Wight Classics and really appreciated them fitting it in the next day. The seal failed again after a few days, so when I got home, put the car up in the air and removed the bearing cover I noticed the cover had sealant around the edge, should be just a gasket. On removal, the inside was full of sealant, there should be none at all. Some sealant had also blocked the drain hole which if there is a leak stops the oil contaminating the brake shoes. Sealant was also on the drive shaft splines. I have contacted Wight Classic via email and they have been good enough to respond, saying there was sealant present, there was...a small amount on the four bolt threads and on the back of the back plate, none at all inside the bearing cover. We appreciate Wight Classics fitting us in at such short notice and had some great chats with the mechanics, just feel the amount of sealant used was something I'd not expect from a garage. I have attached a video of the removal of the sealant and a few pics.

I needed a 6 volt coil, lucky for me they had a good one on the shelf, great price too.

Wight Classics work on all of my cars. I dont even bother looking for another company as I know that these guys will do a first class job and the invoice will be fair for the work that goes in. As I write this Wight Classics are doing a nut and bolt restoration on my latest acquisition. Its a historically important car and has to be perfect so there is only company that I trust to do it. Highly recommended. Services: Electrical, Brakes, Body & Trim, Oil change, Exhaust, Electrical repair, Steering & suspension repair, Brake service & repair
